Evangeline's Praline Pecan Liqueur is Louisiana in a bottle — 750mL at 21% ABV (42 proof), a clear (non-cream) praline-pecan liqueur from Sazerac Company, built on the Southern praline tradition that French settlers brought to Louisiana in the 18th century and New Orleans adapted with native pecans in the 19th — available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
- ABV: 21% vol (42 proof)
- Size: 750mL
- Style: clear praline pecan liqueur — NOT the cream sibling (Evangeline's Pralines & Cream, 15% ABV)

- Tradition: French praline confectionery, reimagined with Louisiana pecans in 19th-century New Orleans
From French Pralines to Louisiana Pecans
Sazerac calls Praline "Southernly Delicious," and the story earns it: pralines arrived in Louisiana with 18th-century French settlers, and New Orleans confectioners remade the recipe around the native pecan in the 1800s. Evangeline's bottles that tradition as a clear liqueur — warm, buttery, and sweet without the weight of a cream. Note: this is the 21% ABV clear expression, not the 15% cream version.

Nose of warm toasted pecans, vanilla bean, and brown sugar; sweet and buttery on the palate with caramel, maple syrup, and toasted nuts; a creamy, long finish with lingering praline and soft spice (retailer brand copy).
How to Enjoy
Chilled or on ice, in coffee, drizzled over vanilla ice cream, or in dessert cocktails. A natural with pecan pie.
